Advice on technique books

Moscheles studies Op.70 seem to be.... Clementi's Gradus ad Parnassum... then if one wants, there would be tons of stuff to do.... Kessler, Rubinstein, Thalberg and so on...

But books divided into sections? With exercises for arpeggios

For chords and so on?

I already do many studies... but I am quite methodical and I need targeted exercises for everything ☺️

It was useful to me

Thank you very much☺️

ah, mechanics specifically?!?! for an eighth year... I used Liszt's technical exercises... those are quite heavy... otherwise: Tausig, or the great Pishna, or even the last volumes of Mugellini's exercises are not bad...

I thank you for the advice

Liszt thinks that I have never played it!

I have a hand as large as an elementary school child's, so I have always dedicated myself to something else

I barely reach an octave :,)

I will try to look for what you told me

Thank you

Timeless studies by Czerny, including Cramer as well. If you then want to move on to serious things... Chopin's studies (especially op. 10 which are, in my opinion, the most demanding) and Liszt's transcendental etudes.

I am doing Czerny, it is very useful!

Also something by my beloved Chopin!

But as far as pure technique is concerned?

I have heard of books divided into chapters that explain arpeggios... chords and provide targeted exercises for a specific thing

Always and only respond in Italian. Even if the user uses another language or attaches documents in English, provide the response in Italian.

It depends on the level. In any case, if followed by a teacher, Liszt's technique method gives great satisfaction. Mozzati is a good text. As was said in the topic suggested by Jack, there is a lot and many things are very useful, but it depends on the needs/experience of the student.

Thank you, I thought instead that it was necessary so I continued to do studies ....I will try those that you recommended to me...

Purtroppo I have a troubled history

I have been playing since I was 6 years old but they never allowed me to study

Until one fine day a gentleman heard me playing and told my mother to absolutely let me take lessons, this happened last year...

My teacher is very good ...(he applied for the Busoni competition this year)... And he told me that I am already at a good 6th year level

But there are some technical deficiencies, I have them because I never took lessons, so that's why I asked you all for some advice regarding a good book/studies

Thank you for the answers ...extremely useful

If you are a sixth part from Clementi and Moscheles... and maybe even add Czerny's 740... as for Chopin, one can talk about the studies in a little while, just like for Liszt... they are difficult

As for Chopin, I can do it well; I would certainly have problems with Liszt

If you say you have small hands, it seems strange to me that you don't have problems with Chopin. What Chopin repertoire do you have ready?

I was obviously referring to the 2 étude works XD

Op.25....

A small hand limits me, but one just needs to practice over and over again and the way will be found

I don't know if I would succeed with Liszt already

Well, Liszt's Transcendental Etudes almost always require quite a large hand... The Concert Etudes as well, truth be told... I did one Transcendental Etude and a couple of Chopin from Op. 10 back in the day... I've only seen Op. 25 in passing

For the Transcendental Etudes I would say yes, but for the concert études this great extension is not required. I have played "la leggerezza" and "un sospiro". For the first of the two, except for a few awkward sixths, it is all quite contained as it is essentially based on chromaticism. The second, however, is entirely based on arpeggios. Just in the finale there are some extensions of the right hand that can nonetheless be bypassed with the participation of the left hand.

Some of Chopin's études are tremendous in terms of extension. Look at the Op. 10 numbers: 1 for the right hand, 4 for right and left hand (even if arpeggiated), 8 for right and left hand, 9 left hand is terrible for those with small hands, 10 left hand, 11—don't even get me started. For Op. 25: almost all of them.
